game of thrones
so the other day, it hit me what i don't like about game of thrones. the tv version is pornography. it's got more plot than your typical porn flick. but it's still porn. but that's not it. i had two intelligent people assert that the gratuitous nudity was essential to the plot. really? you can tell they're bad guys cause they do it doggy style. the good guys do it missionary position. surely i'm not the only one to notice that. but that's not it either. the target audience is serial killers. grrm introduces a character. you stalk them for a book or two. then you kill 'em. it happens over and over. so yeah. no thanks.
